Best Prompt contest

Official Rules: Oh My AI Best Prompt Contest

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. This is a contest of skill; chance plays no part in picking the winner. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

1. Sponsor

The contest is run by US Low Voltage, LLC (ohmyai.ai), 7302 Senate Ave, Suite 106, Houston, TX 77040 ("Sponsor"). Contact: mike@ohmyai.ai.

2. Eligibility

Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 or older (or the age of majority where they live, if older) when they enter. Not open to Sponsor's owners, contractors or judges, or members of their immediate families or households. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.

3. Monthly entry periods

The contest runs every calendar month, starting with November 2026. Each month is a separate contest (an "Entry Period") that starts at 12:00:00 a.m. Central Time (CT) on the first day of the month and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. CT on the last day of the month. Entries count only for the Entry Period in which they are received; they do not carry over to any later month, and each month is judged separately. Sponsor may end the monthly contest by posting notice on this page; any Entry Period already open will finish and be judged under these rules. Sponsor's computer clock is the official clock.

4. Free newsletter subscription required

To enter, you must be a confirmed subscriber to the free Oh My AI weekly newsletter. Subscribing is free: there is no charge, no purchase is needed, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Sign up on this page; you will get an email asking you to confirm (double opt-in). Your subscription counts only after you click the confirmation link. The email address on your entry must match a confirmed subscriber's email address at the time of entry. Entries whose email does not match a confirmed subscriber are not eligible. If you unsubscribe after entering, your entry remains eligible. [LEGAL REVIEW: confirm this last sentence]

Alternate free method of entry [LEGAL REVIEW]: If you do not want to subscribe, you may enter by emailing your prompt title, full prompt, name and email address to [contest@ohmyai.ai] with the subject "Best Prompt Entry" during the Entry Period. Entries sent this way are judged the same way and have the same chance of winning as entries made through the form. They count toward the one-entry limit.

5. How to enter

After confirming your subscription, fill out the entry form on this page with a prompt title, the full prompt, your name and email address (phone optional), and check the required boxes. Limit one (1) entry per person per monthly Entry Period, by any method. Additional entries from the same person, or entries made with multiple or fake identities or email addresses or by automated means, will be disqualified. Entries must be received by the end of the Entry Period.

6. Entry requirements

Your prompt must be your own original work, written in English, and must not have won another contest. It must not contain anything illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, harmful, defamatory, or anyone's private information, and must not ask an AI to do any of those things or to get around its safety rules. Sponsor may disqualify any entry that doesn't meet these rules.

7. Judging

After each monthly Entry Period ends, a panel chosen by Sponsor will judge that month's eligible entries, and only those, on these criteria:

• Usefulness (30%): how well it solves a real, common problem.
• Clarity (25%): how easy it is to read, understand and fill in.
• Works for anyone (25%): how reliably it gives good results in major AI chatbots, for a person with no AI experience.
• Depth (20%): how well its structure, context or steps lead to a better answer.

Judges may test entries in one or more AI chatbots. The entry with the highest total score wins. Ties are broken by the highest Usefulness score, then by a second judging round on the same criteria. Judges' decisions are final. Judging is completed in time to announce the winner by the 20th of the following month. If no eligible entries are received in a month, no prize is awarded for that month.

8. Prize

One (1) prize per monthly Entry Period: a $100 (U.S.) Amazon.com eGift Card, delivered by email. Approximate retail value: $100 per month. One winner per month. No substitution, transfer or cash equivalent, except that Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if needed. The gift card is subject to Amazon's terms. The winner is responsible for any taxes.

9. Winner notification and announcement

Each month's potential winner will be notified by email to the address in their entry, and the winner will be publicly announced, by the 20th day of the month after the Entry Period ends (for example, October entries: winner notified and announced by November 20). The potential winner must reply within [7] days and may be asked to confirm eligibility (for example, with a signed declaration of eligibility and publicity release, where lawful). If a potential winner doesn't reply in time, is ineligible, or the notice is returned, Sponsor may pick the next-highest-scoring eligible entry from the same Entry Period, and the announcement may be updated.

10. Your prompt: ownership, rights and permission to publish [LEGAL REVIEW]

Original work. By submitting an entry, you represent and warrant that your prompt is your own original work, that you have the right to submit it, and that it does not infringe or violate the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights of any person or entity. Do not include confidential, proprietary or personal information (yours or anyone else's) in your prompt.

License to Sponsor. You keep ownership of your prompt. By submitting it, you grant Sponsor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, publish and republish, display and distribute your prompt, together with the display name you choose (or anonymously if you leave it blank), in any media now known or later developed, including ohmyai.ai, the Oh My AI newsletter, the Oh My AI app and social media, without further notice, approval or compensation to you, except where prohibited by law. When reasonable, Sponsor will credit you by your display name. Your full name, email address and phone number are never published.

Winner publicity. Except where prohibited by law, the winner agrees that Sponsor may announce their display name and winning prompt.

11. Privacy

Your name, email and phone are used only to run this contest: to check eligibility, confirm your newsletter subscription, and contact entrants and the winner. They are not published, sold or shared, except with our newsletter provider (MailerLite) to check your subscription, as needed to deliver the prize, or as required by law. See our privacy policy.

12. General conditions

Sponsor isn't responsible for lost, late, incomplete or misdirected entries or confirmation emails, or for technical failures. Sponsor may cancel, change or suspend the contest if fraud, technical problems or other causes beyond its control affect it, and in that case may judge the eligible entries received before then. By entering, entrants agree to these rules and release Sponsor from liability related to the contest and prize, to the extent the law allows.

13. Winners' names

Each month's winner (display name and winning prompt) is posted on this page by the 20th of the following month. You can also email mike@ohmyai.ai for the name of any month's winner.
